Here is the sample e-drawing without using SolidWork to open the file. It’s very beautiful and interesting.

Here are the pictures of what we have been through.  

Steps need to be considered

1.  Use software to design a project using Solidwork

2. Need materials for turn-table system – through Home Depot

3. Need Filter Protection – 15, 30, or 60 degree.

4. We have already the motor for rotation

5. Need Monitor (LED) from 19″ to 22″.

Here is the design I came off :

Note:  We have the LED with stand and a piece of glass/plastic circle to place under the bearing part.  However, the concern that I would bring is how we are going to attach the place between the standing ( mounting part ) and the glass/plastic circle. If it rotates faster, then it will fly off.

Today, Professor discussed about 3M screen protector.  It refers that we can use the screen protector to illustrate that there are some certain degrees we can look at, not the whole 360 degree.  Also, there are some changes on our project.

– Mechanical Engineering

– Manufacturing

– Design

– CAD – computer application

       – Simulation

       – Analysis ( CFI, Pro F.E. )

 Steps have changed

1. Semi-prototyping – ( progress on trying to assemble prototype )

2. Rapid prototyping  (3D printer) – Room 508

3. Make a physical model ( real prototype model )

4.  Since the 55″ monitor is too big and concerned about weight issue, we have decided that we need to do some experiments first. Then, we can determine later.

Here is the picture on what we discussed today.
